Additional Comments

The owners bought the boat new in 1997 and have only day-sailed her since - they have never slept aboard! She has been winterised every year in a barn and been unused for half its life. Pampered, polished and lovingly cared for and completely unused for the last two years, she is in a condition that belies her age.
